BBC and NBC announced the Top Gear lineup for the stateside earlier this week. Playing Jeremy Clarkson’s roll in the U.S. will be comedian Adam Corolla; HGTV’s Eric Stromer will be playing James May; Richard Hammonds roll will be handled by Tanner Foust. Of course, that is our take on the lineup and that’s just how it’s going to be.

Who is Tanner Foust and how good is he? Foust is a famous champion in rally, drift and ice racing. He’s seen major success in Drift and Rally in the last few seasons. Foust holds the 2007 X Games Rally Gold Medal and is 2007′s Formula Drift Pro Drift champion.

Want to see Tanner Foust drift. Check out the video after the jump. Thanks to our friends at Garage419 for the tip. After watching this, we’re really looking forward to the American version of Top Gear.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BBC OR NBC PLEASE DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO A VERSION OF US TOP GEAR, you guys are going to ruin it.

    I will most likely watch it… there really isnt an american tv show like top gear and I think it will be nice to have more than just the current top gear show. Plus they will probably test more american cars so that be entertaining too. Ive seen tanner on some Speed channel programs and I think he will do a good job on the show, he gives honest reviews and he can drive x10
